A PRACTICAL SYSTEM 

IN 

FOLDING, CUTTING AND MODELING 






PREFACE. 

The object of this little book is to help the children to fold 
accurately and at the same time learn to handle the scissors and 
construct something that means something to them. 

You will find it much easier for the children to remember 
the construction of an object if it stands for something to them. 

They will work at it more carefully and willingly. 

The first fold — from back to front — which we always sug- 
gest to the children, looks like a book, is all very well and a pretty 
little device. 

We read them a story from it or talk about the pictures we 
see in it, and they listen most attentively. 

But this is worn out in a lesson or two, and we ask the little 
tots to tell us a story from their book — how many do it? 

They are not acquainted with one other, nor with the kinder- 
gartener, and are afraid of their own little voices. 

This is the time I should introduce the "Barn," Figure I, 
in this system. 

It stands for something and they are delighted with it. 

Work up to each model in the same way and the system is 
sure to prove successful, for it has been used with greatest suc- 
cess even with three and four-year-old little foreigners.

DEDICATED 

TO 

THE WHEELOCK CLASS '07. 



DIRECTIONS. 

Fold on the dotted lines and cut on the straight lines. 

Lines marked x x x indicate a fold or a cut to be made after 
the foundation folding is done. 

The directions given here are for the kindergartener, not 
for the children. 
For the children — 

Tell them in the simplest way possible, and show them at the 
same time, until they can follow dictation readily. 

Do not be in a hurry, with this series, but take it step by 
step and insist on accuracy. 

Begin this work the first or second week to secure the best 
results.
